    Cash Receipt Budget

    Cash receipt budget shows the sales of cash and credit. It also shows the frequency of the payment of credit sales by the customer.

    5% of noncollectable will not be recorded in the cash receipt. Calculate GS's scheduled cash receipts for the month of September as shown below:

    GS Cash receipt Budget For September month

    Sales = $170,000

    Cash sales (0.4 * $170,000) = 68,000

    Collections of prior month's Receivables ($150,000 x 0.55) = 82,500

    Total cash receipts = $150,500

    Working Notes

    Cash sales are 40 percent of total sales.

    55 percent of previous month receivables are received in the current month. As such, receivables pertaining to August is received in September.

    Therefore, GS's budgeted cash receipts for the month of September is computed as $150,500
